The Ultraflex Esophageal Stent System maintains luminal patency in esophageal strictures caused by intrinsic or extrinsic malignant tumors. The covered stent can also be used for occlusion of concurrent esophageal fistula.
Construction
Knitted single-strand Nitinol wire is designed to maintain luminal patency
Elongated proximal flare is designed to improve fixation and reduce the incidence of food entrapment
Flexible stent is designed to perform with peristaltic movement and is engineered for patient comfort
Suture Design
Highly visible green sutures are engineered to facilitate endoscopic visualization of the proximal and distal ends of the stent
Radial Force
Self-radial expansion and radial compression helps the stent perform with peristaltic movement
Radial force is engineered for luminal patency, palliation of malignant strictures and sealing esophageal fistulas when a covered stent is used
